How to repair mosaic bird bath???

18 years ago

Hello all,

last year I purchased really pretty bird bath,

it has a mosaic tiles on the surface.

This spring I noticed that the mosiac is peeling off.

I would like to repair it. I am not sure what

bonding material to use, since some glue may be toxic

to the birds.

Thank you for your help

Hi,

What do you mean the mosaic is peeling off ? If it is tiles or plates it should not peel.

DinaBear,
the mosaic on the birth bath are pieces of porcelain, and they are peeling off with pieces
of something what looks like plaster.
It is a really beautifull bird bath, and I would like to repair it.
Perhaps I will take a picture for better illustration.

Thanks
Mirka

For outdoor use, use Clear Liquid nails. It will stand up over the years under any weather conditions.

how about the silicone sealant you'd use to repair an aquarium? If it's safe for fish it ought to be safe for birds too.
